It was cold tonight. I arrived much too early so setup and waited around playing Scrabble on the iPhone (best time killer). In case you’re wondering, this is how the scene looked before the sunset begun. The long exposure (10 minutes) smoothed the water whilst capturing the blur of moving clouds. It could have been photographed in a shorter exposure but I like to push for longer as it usually smoothens the water more.
Non existent sunset at Howrah Beach. Captured with usual shidazzle of a Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 17–40, Cokin Z-Pro .6 and .9 graduated neutral density filters under exposing the sky to give it more oomph. It occurred to me while writing what equipment I use that it sounds terribly wanky. I try to post my equipment and retain the exif data on my images in case anyone is curious.

Playing around with the Canon 5D Mark II and B+W 110 (10 stop) neutral density filter on sunset, fun. I recently picked up a Phottix long exposure remote after a nice review by Martin Pot, in short it’s a cheaper alternative and you save around $150. I’ve got no regrets and couldn’t recomend it more especially when you can purchase other cords to plug into other camera brands.
